Is there one word....

[5LittleMonkeys]

that you spell incorrectly every.single.time!?

 

DEFINITELY.

 

That is my word. I even just misspelled it and had to hit spell check. Why! I am an excellent natural speller except for that word and its not even a weird word; its spelled phonetically for crying out loud. I don't get it...rant over.

[newlifemom]

Absolutely not!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are many words I always misspell. Many. :tongue_smilie:

[plain jane]

"Occasion" is mine. I don't know what it is... I just can't spell that word correctly on my first try.:001_huh: Or my second or third sometimes. :glare: Thank goodness for spellcheck. :D

[LauraGB]

Thier. Or their. (I'm not using spell check, no matter how much it kills me.) I have no problem writing it, but typing it kills me every single time. :glare:

[rootsnwings]

Their was mine until I tought myself a little trick (just this year! :tongue_smilie:)

 

They is T H E Y and THEIR is like the possessive of THEY, right? BOTH start with the letters THE, so the only option is THEIR! :) HTH!!

[wy_kid_wrangler04]

Anybody who reads my posts can tell you I am NOT a natural speller LOL. There are many words I do not spell correctly! :001_huh:

[moonlight]

not every time, but just recently found out refrigerator was not spelled refridgerator...argh!

:iagree: Me too! Me too!!!!

 

I always put def. hoping they'll get the point! It doesn't matter how many times I check the spelling, the next time I try I get it wrong!!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

[Pamela H in Texas]

occasionally.

 

And I mistype the as teh regularly.

[NanceXToo]

I always have to check if I'm spelling "misspelled" right. :D

[The Girls' Mom]

Recieved. It gets me every time.

 

Now don't get me started on all my typos.

[whitestavern]

Mine is rhythm. I never spell it correctly. I always want to put an n in there somewhere. Thank goodness for spell check!

[angela in ohio]

There are words I type incorrectly all the time: teh, Anglea, anything that should end with tion, but I type iton instead...

 

Then there are words that I just can't remember how to spell and/or second guess. My worst is separate.

[Hunter's Moon]

Ceiling (Anything with an 'e' and 'i' after a 'c' because "I before E except after C doesn't always work so I always doubt myself when I put the E before I after a C)

Renaissance (which I just had to spell check)

Nausea

Diarrhea

 

I'm considered an excellent speller, but there are a few more.

[DawnM]

ridiculous

 

I used to spell it rediculous

 

The "i" just doesn't fit to me!

[Mejane]

knowledgeable (is that right? it doesn't look right. is there supposed to be a D in there? how about that E? spellcheck! :D)

 

niece. I always want to write neice.

[Wheres Toto]

Occassionally and Wendsday. Total mental block on both of these.

[SquirrellyMama]

DEFINITELY.

I misspell definitely all the time also. The other one is scavenger. I want to spell it with an "a" before the n or sometimes an "a" before the r.

[Saille]

separate

 

I always try to make that "a" in the middle an "e".

[MamaT]

Mine is separately. I really want it to be spelled with an "e", like seperately.

[kwickimom]

This is mine and it is so annoying to me because it is jut definite with an ly added on. But I sometimes make the last "e" and "i" and I always have to spell check it. My memory has gone south after 3 children and I probably will never remember it!

[Aubrey]

Unneccessary. I try & try & then reword. :lol:

[ChemMommy]

separate

 

I always try to make that "a" in the middle an "e".

 

 

My 9th grade English teacher taught us that since this word was hard to spell, that there was a RAT in the middle of the word. I still spell it with that thought in mind.

[ChemMommy]

Judgement or it is judgment? I goof that one up every time and just refuse to type it!!

 

And occasion gets me, too. I had to try it three ways in order for the spell checker to accept it.

[fhjmom]

 

And I mistype the as teh regularly.

 

:iagree: I cannot type "the" the first time unless I stop and really concentrate. I blame that on muscle memory and not on spelling ability. I also regularly type any "-ing" ending "-ign" instead.

 

Flat out misspelling:

Necessary

Separate

[Dawn in OH]

Definitely and occasion are my two. In fact, I just spelled occasion wrong in this post - twice - and had to use spell check to correct it.

[YourFidgetyFriend]

Ecstasy. I mean not that I'm writing/typing that word very often, but I never spell it right when I do. I always try to put an "X" in it and I get the Cs and Ss mixed up. I'm usually an excellent speller, but that one gets me each time.

[Carol in Cal.]

Wow, you all have my list!

 

Definitely was on my list until I realized (within the last few years) that it has the word 'finite' in the middle of it. Now I never misspell it.

 

Another one on my list has been grammar. Er or ar? So annoying. But now I know!

[holdoll]

Mine is also DEFINITELY. I always seem to forget about the "e" after the letter "t".

[elegantlion]

dyslexia - thank goodness for firefox underlining words.

 

I've also noticed I have a tendency to leave NOT out of sentences. Completely changes the intent of what I'm saying. It usually happens when I'm thinking faster than I'm typing.

[Nakia]

Privilege is one I always misspell. I always want to add a "d" so it looks like priviledge. :glare:

[~Tara~]

Knowledge

nausea

diarrhea

(at least I now know I'm not the only one on those counts ;) )

oh, yes, privilege too and judgement

eczema

absorbent (really? it's -ent, I still just don't believe it!)

I used to miss necessary and unnecessary all the time...finally figured out one c two s .. whereas occasion has two c and one s

misspell (ugh!)

and to finish the list off with a bang..how do you remember how to spell hemmoroid, is that right? it doesn't even show on my spell check

[Leanna Tomlinson]

vacuum/ vaccum?

 

recommend / reccomend?

 

grateful/ greatful

(it seems to me that if things are great you should be greatful. When things grate on my nerves I am DEFINITELY not grateful.) ;)

[5LittleMonkeys]

While we are on the subject...

 

is it at least or atleast? My spellcheck says its two words.

[mom2denj]

This is one that I used to misspell. I have a wierd way of remembering some words. I break it up into my own made up syllables.

 

de-fin-it-ely

 

another one I always used to misspell:

 

un-for-tuna-tely

 

I have been doing this since elementary school. I would break the word up and then repeat it over and over many, many times. Eventually the word would just stick.

 

I know I'm wierd.:D

[sagira]

Mine is

 

indubitably :glare: :tongue_smilie:

 

I just spelled it wrong three times.. this does NOT happen to me with other words! I am a lean, mean, spelling machine! :glare:

[6packofun]

I'm a pretty good speller, but I check the word "embarrass(ed)" EVERY single time, including just now. LOL I always want to write it with one 'r' and it doesn't look right either way to me!!

[Suzanne in ABQ]

For that word, I always have to say "Finite" before I start writing. I have no trouble spelling "finite", but "definitely" trips me up. But, if I mentally say "finite", I have no trouble.

[Heather in Neverland]

Judgement or it is judgment? I goof that one up every time and just refuse to type it!!

 

 

Actually they are both right depending on if you are using american or british spelling. Letter doubles get me like

 

obsessed or obssessed

 

committment or commitment or comittment or comitment AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!

 

and I have certain words I always type incorrectly even though I know how to spell them. It's like my fingers won't cooperate.

[milovany]

Oh, probably :tongue_smilie: but your post made me think of the word I mis-type 90% of the time that I type it: Typewell (well, look at that, I just did it right the first time). The funny thing is that Typewell is the typing transcription program I use for my job, lol -- it's a program that's supposed to make typing faster, and I usually mis-type IT and have to go back and change it (which of course slows me down). I just find that humorous. :D

[Mrs Mungo]

Occasion, I almost never get it right on the first try.

[milovany]

While we are on the subject...

 

is it at least or atleast? My spellcheck says its two words.

 

Two words. Same with no one (I shiver when I see noone) and a lot. And home school, haha (at least according to my spellchecker).

Have you seen this? :)

It was alot funnier than I imagined it would be!

Upholstery.

 

It cracks my dh up. I can't even *say* the word without pausing to think: Upholerstry or upholstery.

[KidsHappen]

I used to be an excellent speller. I am talking about winning Spelling Bees good but the medication that I take now somehow messes with the language center of the brain. I have great difficulty spelling even simple words. I sometimes mean to type one word and type another word entirely. I have difficulty recalling words of everyday items and sometimes I can't find the appropriate vocabulary word that I need. It is like my brain has turned to Swiss Cheese. That's why I post frequent notices regarding my language problems. It's not that I don't know how it's just that sometimes I simply con't access that part of my brain or that it isn't working correctly. Most of the time, it is no big deal but every know and again, I remember how smart I was (gifted) and how much I have lost and it bums me a bit. But them I look at the alternatives and I know that it is worth it. I have other more important things to worry about and I would hope that the people I know and love understand.
